At today's Meeting, the Chair of the Board, Mr. Ewan Mason, provided an update on the status of the Fort à la Corne mineral properties (the "Project") and the Buffalo Hills-JV:
Fort à la Corne mineral properties
Star Diamond continues to work with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. ("Rio Tinto Canada") on assessing alternatives regarding the Project. Although discussions are encouraging, and may be resolved shortly, there is no certainty that any agreement will be reached. Should negotiations prove successful, Management will determine the optimal strategic path going forward which would include the completion of a feasibility study.
Buffalo Hills-JV
Discussions are ongoing with Canterra Minerals Corp. ("Canterra") to determine possible future work programs. More detailed updates on activities at the Buffalo Hills-JV will be provided as they become available.
